Reyna Rivera is a glass artist originally from San Diego, California that now works and lives in Wrightwood, California. Reyna often draws inspiration from nature rooted from her Indigenous and Hispanic heritage to create highly detailed glass art. At age thirty-three she has been sculpting, blowing and carving glass since 2012. Native Americans, hispanics, and females are underrepresented in glass art currently. Reyna offers a unique perspective and style that the glass art world is lacking. Insta: @Reynasays

A mixed media artist, Intentional Creativity® teacher and SoulCollage® facilitator, I am intrigued and inspired by the raw wild beauty inherent in the great and small wonders of Life itself. I am informed by the vast sensuality of the dynamic energies of the rhythmic seasons and cycles of Nature interconnected with the spiral dance of birth, life, death, and rebirth. I dance with wild muses honoring and conjuring the uncharted images desiring to come forth; unfurling new perspectives and wisdom." insta: @karinghands

Is an illustrator born and raised in Argentina. She trained as a traditional animator in Buenos Aires and later lived in Germany before moving to California 8 years ago. Her work incorporates traditional techniques such as watercolors and acrylics and draws inspiration from many different genres. She likes juxtaposing the soft, beautiful and lightsome with the raw, macabre and dark because she believes that, just like life, art is more meaningful and interesting that way. Insta @dmerz88 —

I grew up in LA. Retired, at 50 to become a contractor. One day I made a frame for an ax, in a heart and someone bought it. That was it! I moved up to Wrightwood, about 7 years ago. Got tired of the whole Art Scene in LA. Best move I've ever made. The Art is called assemblage. My overhead is low, because we throw everything away. I've been blessed, to sell quite a few pieces. It's a lifestyle, it's not a hobby. The day I can't make art, is the day I'll leave the Earth.
